The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about! ↗

Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers. ↗

I have to write the songs before I become too enamored with my own melodies. ↗

Some of those songs, you really have to bite them. You challenge yourself, you challenge the audience, you do something different. People weren't expecting it. ↗

I don't think you need a record deal to write songs. You don't need any other reason than you want to do it. It's a far cry from why some people do music today. They make it to order, which is pretty horrible. ↗
